lives of famous and influential people. It takes the essential
dates and achievements of each person's life, mixes them with

surprising representation of that person's life, work and legacy.

time they lived in. You may already know that Frida Kahlo was an
artist, but did you know she lived in a bright blue house? Or that
she owned two pet spider monkeys? This graphic retelling of Frida's
story gives children a colourful snapshot of her life and the world
she grew up in, while educating them on everything from the Mexican
revolution to the importance of self-belief. AGES: 8 to 12
